Five Man Army DVDr (Warner Archives) (NTSC All Region DVDr)

Five Man Army DVDr (Warner Archives) (NTSC All Region DVDr)
Where this army leads, action fans – especially Spaghetti Western fans – will want to follow. Set during the Mexican Revolution, The Five Man Army is a niftily executed tale of mercenaries who, on behalf of rebel forces, take on a mission to rob a trainload of gold. Make that a suicide mission, because this train is heavily armored; armed with troops, cannon and machine guns, and traveling a route guarded by more soldiers. Peter Graves, then known for his role as mastermind Jim Phelps in TV’s Mission: Impossible, faces another odds-defying task as the Dutchman, leader of a handpicked commando squad consisting of a strongman, an explosives expert, a circus acrobat and a Samurai swordsman. Famed composer Ennio Morricone’s throbbing score amplifies the action of this ready-to-be-rediscovered film that, writes The New York Times’s Vincent Canby, is “for anybody who enjoys lean, taut suspense with no fiddling around.” All aboard!

AVENGER X (1967) Rare Euro Spy


AVENGER X (1967)(aka Mister X)

Review: MISTER X, a mysterious thief and master of disguise and his ever lovely cohort, who steal more for the thrill than the having, are brought out of retirement to clear MISTER X's name. A evil crime lord has killed his girlfriend (who knew too much) and has pinned the rap on MISTER X. MISTER X becomes AVENGER X as he takes on the crime syndicate.

Lots of that '60s James Bond type super-spy type action. AVENGER X takes on various disguises, uses all sorts of nifty gadgets and there are plenty of fights and gunplay and danger and seduction as both the criminals and the cops get him in the squeeze play. Fullscreen, in English, no subtitles. Quality B+

Directed by: Piero Vivarelli
Starring: Joe Atlanta, Pier Paolo Capponi, and Helga Liné

Wolf Guy DVD

Movie may also be known as: Urufu gai: Moero ôkami-otoko

Starring Kyôsuke Machida, Sonny Chiba and Saburô Date

The incredible Shinichi "Sonny" Chiba is WOLFGUY, the only survivor of a clan of rural werewolves who relies on his feral, full-moon-activated superpowers to solve mysterious crimes. Horror, SF, and Action collide when a bizarre and bloody death in the Tokyo streets plunges Wolfguy into a far-reaching conspiracy populated by crooked politicians, naked white women, bit- players like Hideo Murota, a phantom tiger, and -- best of all -- a shadowy organization (called the J-CIA) out to steal the secret of Wolfguy's powers and the blood right out of his veins. Based on the novels and manga by Kazumasa Hirai, who also gave the world ADULT WOLFGUY. Directed by Toei action great Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Sister Streetfighter, Karate Bullfighter)

Exterminator (Synapse) (Blu-ray & DVD Combo Pack All Region)

Aggression Scale (Blu-Ray)

When out-on-bail mob boss Bellavance (Ray Wise of ''Reaper'') discovers that $500,000 of his money is missing, he sends four hardcore hit men (including Dana Ashbrook of ''Twin Peaks'' and Derek Mears of FRIDAY THE 13TH) to send a ''loud and messy'' message to the suspected thieves' families.

Fist of Fear, Touch of Death

Unfortunately, this film neither features real martial arts, nor is it a classic. It hardly even features Bruce Lee, except for some old footage that has been re-dubbed to make it look like Lee actually agreed to this film being made. I hope somebody got sued for this one.
This could have been a good documentary about the "1979 Karate Championship" but most of the footage from the karate matches is obviously staged, and has little to do with Chinese martial arts. Some interesting "facts" were revealed by this film however. For instance, prior to watching "Fist of Fear", I had no idea that Lee's great grandfather was the greatest Chinese samurai warrior.
There are a few funny moments in the film (the Bill Louie Kato scene, or when Fred Williamson is introduced for example) but if you have any respect for Bruce Lee or film-making in general, I would highly recommend avoiding this film.- Lex

Return of the Street Fighter (1974)

Dir: Shigehiro Ozawa

Martial Arts and Grindhouse icon Sonny Chiba returns as ruthless assassin for hire 'Terry' Tsurugi in this first sequel to "The Street Fighter"!

The film opens with Terry being hired by The Mob to silence an informer. Unfortunately the informer is at Police Headquarter!
That's no problem for Terry though, who promptly gets himself arrested, breaking free at the right moment and fighting through the Cops to ram his fingers into the vocal chords of the informer…He's not speaking to the Police now! Though in a bad bit of scripting, what is to stop him writing everything down? Oh well…Lets us move on….

Santo Contra Los Asesinos de Otros Mundos (2008)

A series of horrifying murders compel the authorities to seek help from the only person capable of stopping the homicidal rampage: Santo! The culprit is the evil Malkosh, an old enemy of justice, who demands an enormous ransom to end the bloodshed. His secret weapon is a hair-raising blob creature that is capable of swallowing a man whole. Dr. Bernstein is the only one able to defeat it, but he has been abducted, along with his daughter, by Boris Licur, an even more dastardly criminal. “The Man with the Silver Mask” has little time to lose before he can prevent this madman from getting control of the monster—and the world! Considered one of the most outrageous and surreal of the genre, this film is a must-see for all “Lucha Libre” fans!

SANTO EN EL TESORO DE DRACULA

I really enjoyed this Santo flick. There's just something about it that makes it one of the most fun Santo films I've seen to date. I remember seeing a couple of the old dubbed "Samson" cheesefests on TV back in the 60's, but other than those, I'm relatively new to the genre.
First off, according to all sources, this film was shot in color. This copy from Rise Above is in B&W, but it doesn't seem to detract from the enjoyment. In fact, most of my favorite Santo films are the older B&W ones, so in a way, I feel the non-color aspect serves to enhance SANTO AND THE TREASURE OF DRACULA. Also, the "sleaze" factor of a reported adult version of the film (with naked vampire babes!) is indeed missing from this edition. I for one am glad. I certainly have no objection to sleaze, but there's something about the steadfast Good vs. Evil innocence of a Santo film that should not be tainted by such things.

SANTO EN LA VENGANZA DE LA MOMIA

It's so awesome that El Santo's films are finally released on DVD, and not in low-rent fashion. When I heard that Santo's classics were on the way to the U.S. DVD market, I really expected a No-Frills assortment of campy K. Gordon Murray-style dubbed versions that many of us baby-boomers enjoyed on Saturday night T.V. horror film fests.
The beauty of this release is that you get to see Santo with subtitles. The films still are campy, but nowhere near as kitschy as the English dubbed releases like "Samson In The Wax Museum" or "Samson vs The Vampire Women." Sure, it was funny hearing legendary lucha libre rudo Cavernario Galindo being introduced as "Caveman Wellington," but it's nice to see the subtitled version, which gives the movie the aura it was intended to have.

Santo & Blue Demon vs Dracula

Four hundred years ago, Count Dracula and the Wolf Man attempted to unite the powers of Darkness but were foiled by one man, the alchemist Elco Cristaldi. Today, at the end of the cabalistic time, Dracula has risen anew and he turns his vengeful eye on Cristaldi's descendants. Except that one of them, the lovely Lina Cristaldi, happens to be El Santo's girlfriend. Sucks for Dracula.

The James Bond Collection, Vol. 1 (Special Edition) (1995)

The James Bond Collection, Vol. 1 collects the same feature-packed DVDs that appeared in previous Bond boxes, but in a new combination of titles, one with a decidedly golden gleam. In 1962 Sean Connery defined the cinematic James Bond as a tough, charming, and thoroughly professional cold war spy with a license to kill in the lean, hard-edged Dr. No. With Ursula Andress (as the original Bond girl Honeychile Ryder, who makes her entrance in a bikini), Bond battles a renegade supervillain with little more than his wits, his cunning, and his Walther PPK. In Goldfinger (1964) Connery's steely presence helped forge the formula of tongue-in-cheek wit, wondrous secret agent toys created by Q, and megalomaniac supervillains bent on world destruction.

Walking Tall Trilogy DVD (NTSC Region 1)

Walking Tall Trilogy DVD (NTSC Region 1)
Buford Pusser was a Tennessee sheriff . . . and a one-man army who walked tall and carried a big stick — a four-foot piece of oak.
The story begins with the critical and box office smash hit film Walking Tall, starring Joe Don Baker as Buford Pusser, the fed-up lawman who fought a tremendous uphill battle to clean up his hometown.
Based on a true story, three classic films — the first starring Baker (GoldenEye), then featuring Bo Svenson (Inglourious Basterds) for the two sequels — have captured Pusser’s legacy as the man who showed America what Walking Tall is all about.
The Walking Tall Trilogy is a testament to the legendary sheriff who decided it was time for payback . . . and became one of the most popular movie heroes of all time!

Hercules in the Haunted World DVD (Fantoma) (NTSC Region 1)
Hercules (Reg Park) must fight a monster made of stone, retrieve a golden apple from the tree of Hesperides, and brave the horrors of Hades to rescue his beloved from the clutches of the evil Lyco (Christopher Lee). Oracles, witches, and vampires abound in this delirious blend of sword and sandal adventure, horror, and psychedelia. Maestro Mario Bava's first color film is awash in a sea of primary hues, creepy atmosphere, and eye-popping imagery. Fantoma is very proud to present the original European cut of this widescreen wonder for the first time in the U.S.
